...Lindbergh centrifuge the reservoir for blood is a conical chamber resembling an ocarina. Piercing the butt end and extending almost to the apex is a thin tube with an adjustable inlet. By means of the inlet arm the "ocarina" is fixed horizontally to a vertical reservoir of replacement fluid. As the machine rotates and produces a centrifugal force up to 650 times gravity, the corpuscles settle out of the blood. Replacement fluid flows into the "ocarina" chamber, dilutes the original fluid which flows off through a vent. In a first test of 15 minutes Col. Lindbergh demonstrated that only...
Scooping up a person's lost blood and putting it back into his veins is a risky procedure. The blood may clot. Blood cells may be injured. Germs may get into the fluid. But in emergency such blood may be strained through gauze and mixed with a solution of sodium citrate. Able Surgeon Morris did this, as he had done in emergencies before. Junior Evans' blood pressure became almost normal before he left the operating table. Last week he was on the way to recovery...
Campus slang is fluid, capricious, varying from place to place. Last week the Columbia Spectator brought its readers briefly down to date, explaining that a complete campus slang dictionary "would probably fill a ponderous tome." At Miami University alone, it recalled, a survey by the English department revealed 103 terms for intoxication, 56 "ways of directing undesirables to take their leave," 62 names for Fords, 174 "undesirable mental conditions...
...well known that the rate of heat transfer between a fluid and a metal tube through which it is flowing varies widely, depending upon the temperature of the tube, the size of the tube, the nature of the fluid, and the velocity of flow. All of those influences are to be studied in this research, and it is hoped that ultimately it will be possible to predict rates of heat transfer from values of simple properties of the fluid which can be measured with ordinary laboratory apparatus, such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the like...
...desire for correlating the experimentally determined heat transfer rates with these various properties of the fluid makes it necessary that these properties be determined for the fluids used in the test apparatus. Mr. Smith has therefore set up an apparatus originally designed by Professor Bridgman for determining thermal conductivity. An apparatus for measuring specific heats was set up last year by another graduate student. The laboratories already had apparatus for viscosity, specific gravity, and the like...
